It isn’t every day you can celebrate 70 years of marriage, but to add to it a 100th birthday party, a local legend, and of course a Phillies Phanatic … well that’s a party.

🐶 Rescue of the Week

Rescue of the week: Muppet, a 2-year-old parti poodle

Home At Last Dog Rescue is excited to introduce Muppet, a 2-year-old parti poodle, as the featured rescue of the week. Muppet came from a puppy mill in Lancaster before he made his way to his current foster home in Warminster, through Home At Last Dog Rescue.

Muppet is a very sweet dog who loves meeting new people. He gets along very well with other dogs and children. When he’s not lounging on the couch enjoying chest rubs, he likes going for brisk walks. Muppet is also a smart pup, eager to learn new tricks. He is both house- and crate-trained, and would make a great addition to almost any household.

If you are interested in adopting Muppet, or would like more information, you can reach out to Home At Last Dog Rescue at [email protected] or visit the website at www.homeatlastdogrescue.com.
